gainfully (full-time) employed

in a hundred years, would you pick me to become a librarian? i didn't think so. i mean i'm the girl who up until a year ago, has read maybe 15 books from cover to cover. multiply that number by 100 and that's how many books i've started and never finished. i finally joined my first book club when i arrived to greece and still, sometimes i only finish 1/2 or 3/4 of the book. our book club is NOT one of those really academic, "how-did-this-book-make-you-feel" kind of groups. we discuss the book for 10 minutes, 15 minutes tops, and then eat, catch up and enjoy one another's company. my kind of book club!

part of me will miss the days i had to myself to do whatever i wanted. my part-time job with central texas college allowed me to sleep in, sip coffee all morning, write, read, blog, or whatever, a couple times a week. and going to work at 7:30 is yuck. i'm not a morning person but i'll have to learn how to be. :)

i guess since i'm the new librarian, i will make sure and finish the whole book from now on. :)

disclaimer: the picture above is not our library on base. we have a great, beautiful new building that my husband, the PWO (public works officer) is kicking us out of to make room for single sailor accomodations. my first order of business will be to pick a temporary location until the new library is built.

I think you'll be an awesome librarian. And I think finishing a book may just be skipping to the last 2 pages and calling it done. :) But do share if there are any "you must read this" books you discover there at the library.

about cortney (in a nutshell)

i am a navy wife, mama to 2 girls here and a son in heaven, and small-business owner/Recruiter. in short, i am messy!

i also love Jesus, Texas, (Austin!), football (Red Raiders/Cowboys forever + anyone--just love watching the game), coffee, writing, photography, organic eating/living, and the environment. but i abuse paper towels and drive a 2007 Tahoe. i think most of the world's problems could be solved by listening to almost anything from the 80s and having a full-on sweaty dance party. if i am wearing something white and my young children are not around me all day, i will still be sporting a major ketchup stain. i LOVE to laugh. mostly with you, but always at myself. i will not apologize for not using capitals.

currently the Navy has us living in sunny San Diego and we're enjoying all the fun activities this city has to offer!
